You could also try going with vision x light bars, they're a bit thinner than the rigid industries light bars. I have six vision x "solo" light pods bolted to a kc light mount on my hood and they are almost as bright as my 30" but mainly they are more focussed so they "seem" brighter.

The e series bar will light up both sides of a two lane road and the thirty foot firebreaks on both sides of the road(at least I presume that's what they are) about maybe five ten feet ahead of my jeep at the far edge of the road. Right in front is this bright pool of light that illuminates from the bumper to several hundred feet ahead and reflective objects like signs light up at some instances a mile and a half or more.

The vision x lights will bright up whatever you point them at, I'm thinking about bolting on another set of the wide angle ones which will add another 1800 or so lumens just to widen up the light they throw though. They only pull ten watts each and cast around 900 lumens each. I think they are around two inches deep or so.

I bought them both to try them out mainly because there are two stores where I live that are distributers and I didn't have to buy them online.

Light output wise. Which do you like better?

Unique yes, but more importantly to me they draw so much less power for the lumen output and put out crisp white light. I had long wanted Alien Abduction headlights...(lights which make one think that the aliens have come for them because of the unearthly bright white light)

I like the vision x for their light, the rigid industries lights defiantly do the flood pattern better though. And I think they are a little "whiter" than the vision x's. For me, it's a toss up.

The vision x are a bit more expensive than the rigid's.
